• Smart Store
• Smart Energy Management
• Cyber Security

Artificial Intelligence is revolutionising retail rapidly with improved data analytics and process automation, – which is of particular importance in view of skilled labour shortages. Customer Centricity is gaining in importance with increased personalisation and the creation of a seamless shopping experience through technologies such as IoT and AI. Smart Store concepts integrate modern technologies such as sensors and smart shelves to make shopping even faster and more seamless. Smart Energy Management is a key initiative against the backdrop of high energy prices and sustainability efforts while Cyber Security is decisive for the protection of data and systems in the face of increasing attacks on IT structures. 

In food service digital ordering and payment systems and innovative forecasting technologies are driving the optimisation of order and HR planning while the use of robotics and smart vending solutions are driving transformation. These innovations improve efficiency, the customer journey and the sustainability of the sector. This is why EuroCIS will be presenting a new special area specifically geared to food service in retail to introduce innovative digital solutions to the industry. 

The line-up of side events at EuroCIS comprises three stages where top-notch speakers will share exciting insights for business giving practical examples from the retail sector. The fourth edition of the popular Start-Up Hub will again offer the opportunity to get to know promising newcomers and forge new business contacts. In addition, the retail technology awards europe (reta) and the EHI Science Prize will recognise especially innovative approaches. In addition, Guided Innovation Tours visitors will give visitors the opportunity to discover leading innovations.
